Product <br />2.1 <br />Product description <br />Reactive resins based on epoxy resin, filled and/or <br />aqueous filled <br />The reactive resins are manufactured in a twocomponent process using reactively-diluted epoxy <br />resins and polyamines. The aqueous systems can be <br />formulated as aqueous dispersions on the resin or <br />hardening agent side. <br />They comply with multiple, often specific tasks in the <br />construction, fitting and repair of structures. By using <br />reactive resins based on epoxy resin, filled and/or <br />aqueous filled, the fitness for use of structures is <br />decisively improved and their life time extended. <br />The product displaying the highest environmental <br />impacts was used as a representative product for <br />calculating the Life Cycle Assessment results (worst <br />case-approach). <br />2.2 <br />Application <br />Reactive resins based on epoxy resin, filled and/or <br />aqueous filled, are used in the following applications:</p> <p>2</p> <p>Module 1: Reactive resins for protecting and repairing <br />concrete structures <br />Products for surface protection of concrete, for <br />increasing the durability of concrete and reinforced <br />concrete structures as well as for new concrete and for <br />maintenance and repair work, products for structural <br />and non-structural repair used for restoring the <br />original condition of concrete structures and/or <br />replacing faulty concrete and providing reinforcements <br />with protection; products for structural bonding of <br />strengthening materials to an existing concrete <br />structure and products for concrete injection for <br />filling cracks, voids and interstices in concrete. <br />Module 2: Reactive resins for liquid applied roof <br />waterproofing kits <br />Reactive resins for waterproofing roof constructions <br />which are applied on the construction site <br />Module 3: Reactive resin primer for bridge <br />waterproofing <br />Primer for bridge waterproofing for use on bridges <br />made of concrete</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA - Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry – Reactive <br />resins based on epoxy resin, filled and/or aqueous with high content of filler</p> <p>Module 4: Reactive resins as adhesive for tiles <br />Tile adhesives for internal and external tile installations <br />on walls, floors and ceilings. <br />Module 5: Reactive resins for watertight covering kits <br />Watertight covering kits for wetroom floors and/or walls <br />inside buildings <br />Module 6:Reactive resins for liquid applied <br />waterproofings for buildings <br />Liquid applied products for waterproofing of buildings <br />Module 7: Screed material and floor screeds <br />Products for screed / synthetic resin screed for use in <br />floor constructions <br />Module 8: Reactive resins for waterproofing <br />components made of concrete or brickwork and for <br />pre-treating mineral sub-surfaces such as screed or <br />concrete flooring prior to flooring, parquet and tiling <br />work <br />Applications in accordance with the manufacturer's <br />technical documentation / declaration of performance <br />Module 9: Reactive resins for optical design of <br />concrete components <br />Products for usually coloured design of concrete <br />accompanied by less-specified surface protection and <br />improved durability of concrete and reinforced concrete <br />surfaces. The same applies for other mineral subsurfaces such as plaster, stone and brickwork. <br />On account of the susceptibility of epoxy resin layers to <br />weathering factors (yellowing, whiting after extensive <br />weathering), a final polyurethane-based coating is <br />usually applied to epoxy layers in outdoor applications. <br />2.3 <br />Technical Data <br />Module 1: Reactive resins for protecting and repairing <br />concrete structures <br />The minimum requirements of /EN 1504/ apply.

One kg of product in <br />individual containers. Sealants in plastic cartridges and <br />poly-tube bags made of foil compound materials. <br />Typical container sizes contain 10 to 25 kg of material. <br />For more extensive applications, vats containing <br />approx. 200 kg or IBCs containing more than 1 tonne <br />are also used. <br />A sheet steel container was modelled for the Life Cycle <br />Assessment. <br />2.6 <br />Base materials / Ancillary materials <br />Reactive resins based on epoxy resin, filled and/or <br />aqueous filled, comprise resin and crosslinking agent <br />components. Aqueous, filled systems can be <br />formulated as aqueous dispersions on the resin or <br />crosslinking agent side. <br />The resin component contains low-molecular epoxy <br />resins based on Bisphenol-A and Bisphenol-F <br />Diglycidether. Reactive diluting agents (Glycidether) <br />based on aliphatic alcohol are used for viscosity <br />adjustment. Crosslinking occurs when installed on site <br />with the amine component. Polyamines and polyamine <br />adducts based on IPDA, MXDA, TMDA and TEPA are <br />used for this purpose. The components can contain <br />accelerators, catalysts, wetting agents, foam <br />regulators, inert diluting agents (no solvents) for fine <br />adjustment of the product properties as auxiliaries <br />(restrictions governing application or placing on the <br />market must be observed). <br />The mixing ratio for resin and crosslinker is adjusted in <br />accordance with the stoichiometric requirements. <br />Product crosslinking starts immediately after mixing the <br />components. <br />On average, the products covered by this EPD contain <br />the following range of base materials and auxiliaries: <br />Resin component: ~ 5-50% <br />Crosslinker component: ~ 5-15% <br />Reactive diluting agent: ~ 0-20% <br />Filler material: 20-70% <br />Water: 0-10% <br />Other: ~ <4% <br />The ranges referred to above are average values and <br />the composition of products complying with the EPD <br />can deviate from the concentration volumes referred to <br />in individual cases. Deviations are possible. More <br />detailed information is provided by the respective <br />manufacturer (e.g. product data sheets). <br />In individual cases, it is possible that substances on <br />the list of particularly harmful substances for inclusion <br />in Annex XIV of the /REACH/ Ordinance are included <br />in concentrations of more than 0.1%. If this is the case, <br />this information can be found in the respective safety <br />data sheet. <br />2.7 <br />Manufacture <br />The product components formulated are usually mixed <br />from the ingredients in batch mode and packaged for <br />delivery, whereby quality and environmental standards <br />in accordance with /ISO 9001:2008-12/ and the <br />provisions outlined in the relevant regulations such as <br />the Industrial Safety Regulation and Federal Pollution <br />Control Act are adhered to.</p> <p>4</p> <p>2.8</p> <p>Environment and health during <br />manufacturing <br />As a general rule, no other environmental protection <br />measures other than those specified by law are <br />necessary. <br />2.9 <br />Product processing/Installation <br />Reactive resins based on epoxy resin (filled and/or <br />water-filled) are <br />are processed by trowelling/knife-coating or rolling, <br />pouring, spraying or injection, whereby health and <br />safety measures (hand and eye protection, ventilation, <br />respiratory equipment) are to be taken and consistently <br />adhered to in accordance with the information on the <br />safety data sheet and conditions on site. VOCemissions may occur. <br />2.10 Packaging <br />A detailed description of packaging is provided in <br />section 2.5. Empty containers and clean foils can be <br />recycled. <br />2.11 Condition of use <br />During the use phase, reactive resins based on epoxy, <br />unfilled/solvent-free, are crosslinked and essentially <br />comprise an inert, three-dimensional netwoirk. <br />They are long-lasting products which protect our <br />buildings in the form of primer, coatings or sealings <br />and make a significant contribution towards retaining <br />their function and long-term value <br />2.12 Environment and health during use <br />Option 1 – Products for applications outside <br />indoor areas with permanent stays by people <br />During use, reactive resins based on epoxy, filled <br />and/or aqueous filled, lose their reactivity and react <br />inert. <br />No risks are known for water, air and soil if the <br />products are used as designated. <br />Option 2 – Products for applications inside indoor <br />areas with permanent stays by people <br />When used in indoor areas with permanent stays by <br />people, evidence of the emission performance of <br />construction products in contact with indoor air must be <br />submitted according to national requirements. No <br />further influences on the environment and health by <br />emanating substances are known. <br />2.13 Reference service life <br />Reactive resins based on epoxy resin, aqueous <br />(unfilled), comply with various, often specific tasks <br />associated with the construction or refurbishment of <br />building structures. Use thereof decisively improves <br />the usability of building structures and significantly <br />extends their Reference Service Life. <br />The anticipated Reference Service Life depends on the <br />specific installation situation and associated product <br />exposure. It can be influenced by weather factors as <br />well as by mechanical or chemical loads.</p> <p>2.14</p> <p>Extraordinary effects</p> <p>Fire <br />Even without any special fire safety fittings, the <br />reactive resins based on epoxy, unfilled/solvent-free, <br />comply with the minimum requirements of /EN 135011/ for fire class E and Efl. In terms of the volumes <br />used, they only have a subordinate effect on the fire <br />characteristics (e.g. smoke gas development) of a</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA - Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry – Reactive <br />resins based on epoxy resin, filled and/or aqueous with high content of filler</p> <p>building in which they are installed. As cross-linked <br />epoxy resins involve a duroplastic material, it does not <br />melt or drip with the result that the resins do not <br />contribute to fire spread, whereas the combustibility of <br />cross-linked epoxy resins is greater than that of other <br />duroplastics. Among other substances, formaldehyde <br />and phenol can be formed in the event of a fire. <br />Water <br />The reactive resins based on epoxy, unfilled/solventfree, are chemically inert and water-insoluble. They are <br />often used for protecting building structures from <br />harmful water ingress / the effects of flooding. <br />Mechanical destruction <br />Mechanical destruction of reactive resins based on <br />epoxy resin does not lead to any decomposition <br />products which are harmful to the environment or <br />health. <br />2.15 Re-use phase <br />According to present knowledge, no environmentallyharmful effects are generally anticipated in landfilling, <br />for example, as a result of de-construction and <br />recycling of building materials to which crosslinked <br />epoxy resin products are adherent. <br />If epoxy systems can be removed from construction <br />products without any noticeable effort, thermal <br />utilisation is a practical recycling variant on account of <br />their energy content.</p> <p>Minor adhesion is not taken into consideration during <br />disposal. It does not interfere with disposal/recycling of <br />the remaining components / building materials. <br />2.16 Disposal <br />Individual components which can no longer be <br />recycled must be combined at a specified ratio and <br />hardened. <br />Hardened product residue is not special waste. <br />Non-hardened product residue is special waste. <br />Empty, dried containers (free of drops and scraped <br />clean) are directed to the recycling process. Residue <br />must be directed to proper waste disposal taking <br />consideration of local guidelines. <br />The following European Waste Codes waste (EWC) <br />codes can apply: <br />Hardened product residue: <br />/EWC 2000/532/EC 080112/ with the exception of <br />those covered by /EWC 2000/532/EC08 01 11/ <br />/EWC 2000/532/EC 080410/ with the exception of <br />those covered by /EWC 2000/532/EC 08 04 09/ <br />2.17 Further information <br />More information is available in the manufacturer's <br />product or safety data sheets and is available on the <br />manufacturer's Web sites or on request. Valuable <br />technical information is also available on the <br />associations' Web sites.</p> <p>3. LCA: Calculation rules <br />3.1 <br />Declared Unit <br />This EPD refers to the declared unit of 1 kg reactive <br />resin based on epoxy resin, filled and/or aqueous filled <br />of density 1.1 - 2.5 g/cm³ in the mixing ratio required <br />for processing both components in accordance with <br />the PCR Part B for Reactive resin products. <br />Consumption per unit area of the products to be <br />applied extensively can range between only a few <br />hundred grams and more than 1 kg per square metre. <br />In the case of products, which are injected, the <br />application volume depends on the component to be <br />injected. <br />The results of the Life Cycle Assessment provided in <br />this declaration have been calculated from the product <br />with the highest environmental impact (worst-case <br />scenario). <br />Declared unit <br />Name</p> <p>Declared unit <br />Conversion factor to 1 kg</p> <p>Value</p> <p>Unit</p> <p>1 <br />1</p> <p>kg <br />-</p> <p>3.2 <br />System boundary <br />Modules A1-A3, A4, A5 and D are taken into <br />consideration in the LCA: <br /> <br />A1 Production of preliminary products <br /> <br />A2 Transport to plant <br /> <br />A3 Production incl. provision of energy, <br />production of packaging as well as auxiliaries <br />and consumables, waste treatment) <br /> <br />A4 Transport to site <br /> <br />A5 Installation (disposal of packaging & <br />installation losses and emissions during <br />installation)</p> <p>5</p> <p></p> <p>D Credits from incineration of packaging <br />materials & installation losses and recycling <br />the metal container</p> <p>The declaration is therefore from "cradle to gate - with <br />options". <br />3.3 <br />Estimates and assumptions <br />Where no specific /GaBi/ processes were available, <br />the individual recipe ingredients of formulation were <br />estimated on the basis of information provided by the <br />manufacturer or literary sources. <br />3.4 <br />Cut-off criteria <br />All raw materials submitted for the formulations and <br />production data were taken into consideration. <br />The manufacture of machinery, plants and other <br />infrastructure required for production of the products <br />under review was not taken into consideration in the <br />LCA. <br />Transport of packaging materials is also excluded. <br />3.5 <br />Background data <br />Data from the /GaBi 6/ database was used as <br />background data. Where no background data was <br />available, it was complemented by manufacturer <br />information and literary research. <br />3.6 <br />Data quality <br />Representative products were applied for this EPD and <br />the product in a group displaying the highest <br />environmental impact was selected for calculating the <br />LCA results. The datasets are less than 5 years old. <br />Production data and packaging are based on details <br />provided by the manufacturer.

LCA: Interpretation <br />All impacts are associated with the production phase <br />(A1-A3). The most significant contribution to the <br />production phase impacts is the upstream production <br />of raw materials as main driver. Another significant <br />contributor in the production phase, in the category of <br />Abiotic Depletion Potential Elements (ADPE), is the <br />steel sheet used as a packaging material. <br />The majority of life cycle energy consumption takes <br />place during the production phase (A1-A3). Significant <br />contributions to Primary Energy Demand – Nonrenewable (PENRT) derive from the energy resources <br />used in the production of raw materials. The largest <br />contributor to Primary Energy Demand – Renewable <br />(PERT) is the consumption of renewable energy <br />resources required for the generation and supply of <br />7</p> <p>electricity. During manufacturing (A1-A3) some <br />influence also arises due to the wooden pallets used <br />as packaging that need solar energy for <br />photosynthesis. It should be noted that Primary Energy <br />Demand – Renewable (PERT) generally represents a <br />small percentage of the production phase primary <br />energy demand with the bulk of the demand coming <br />from non-renewable energy resources. <br />Transportation to the construction site (A4) and the <br />installation process (A5) make a negligible contribution <br />to almost all impacts. The only exception is the <br />photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP) that is <br />significantly influenced by the installation of the product <br />due to emissions of benzyl alcohol of maximum 2%. <br />This leads to a contribution of the installation phase of</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA - Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry – Reactive <br />resins based on epoxy resin, filled and/or aqueous with high content of filler</p> <p>up to 80% on the overall life cycle of the product. <br />Emissions associated with the manufacturing of <br />products (A3) only have a minor influence on POCP. <br />In module A4, transport to construction site, values for <br />POCP are negative due to emission profile modelled <br />for the selected transportation process and of the <br />characterisation method used in CML 2001 for the <br />calculation of the POCP.</p> <p>Scrap burdens and energy credit from incineration of <br />packaging material reported in module D are not <br />important (contribution <2.5% for most results). <br />CO2 is the most important contributor to Global <br />Warming Potential (GWP). For the Acidification <br />Potential (AP), NOx and SO2 contribute to the largest <br />share.</p> <p>7. Requisite evidence <br />VOC <br />Special tests and evidence have not been carried out <br />or provided within the framework of drawing up this <br />Model EPD.
